I have been having the same problem , what was the size you cut down too, and what is the correct rubber?

Hi pakitdvr, I've just had a good look around and can not find how long I machined the bushes down too. I know it was not much, about 1 mm. The rubber used is the standard Kitfox mount rubber. Have a hunt around, I'm sure the correct size is known by someone.....cheers....

I have a brand new engine mount replacement rubber and bushing kit from Kitfox Aircraft that was just delivered a week ago. The bushing lengths look to be 15/16 of an inch long. Just under 1 inch. I'm having the same problem with my 912S so I'm pulling the engine soon and replacing all the rubber mounts and bushings.
Also will install new carb boots.

I rebuilt both carbs a few months ago and it didn't help at all. Even replaced the diaphragms. No go. Haven't flown the 4 since first week of Feb.
Lucky I have another project to work on in the meantime.

I also found my pressure was over 6psi pegged guage at 6 put a universal regulator and it helped. but if it shakes it still will flood
